New Lutheran Quote of the Day

God comes into the mess we have made of things.  He is born as one of us, as we shall shortly celebrate.  He makes a way through the mess for us.  He takes our sin and answers for it.  He takes our death and overcomes it.  All this He did for you so you might know Him as the God who forgives you, the God who takes you on and would fulfill His happy purpose for you. -- Dr. Norman Nagel, Selected Sermons, p. 342.
